It means "a place that contains a group of people who can be easily victimized by a person wielding 100+ year old technology, because the administration...somewhere, decided that its placebo of 'gun free zone' would make them all feel better, despite the empirical evidence indicating that those bent on mass murder and the violation of Natural Law will give not one whit about statutory law or regulation."

"Target rich environment" takes a hell of a lot less keystrokes.

English, what an awesome language.
